Move SVM's assertion that vCPU's APICv state is consistent with its VM's state out of svm_vcpu_run() and into x86's common inner run loop. The assertion and underlying logic is not unique to SVM, it's just that SVM has more inhibiting conditions and thus is more likely to run headfirst into any KVM bugs. Add relevant comments to document exactly why the update path has unusual ordering between the update the kick, why said ordering is safe, and also the basic rules behind the assertion in the run loop.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
